Seeing her expression, as if she was sacrificing herself and offering her body to a demon, Asmodeus smiled and comforted her, "There's no need to be so sad. Although I always act decisively, I am still good to my God Consorts."
Vivi nodded. What was said verbally wasn't important; true action was the key.
"Without further ado, I'll take you to kill Crocodile now."
"Wait, I've already agreed to you. Can you wake them both up?"
Vivi glanced at the two people who had fainted nearby, feeling that she couldn't just leave them without a care.
"When they wake up, I think you know how to explain it, right…?"
"I know…"
Hearing this, Asmodeus raised his hand and shot out several white lightning bolts, connecting to Igaram and Karoo.
"Electrotherapy!"
"Gah~ Gah? Gah!" Karoo was the first to wake up, his eyes wide in shock as he cried out in confusion.
"This… man? What's going on?!"
Asmodeus glanced at it coldly, and it immediately shivered and fell silent.
Then, Igaram slowly woke up, saw the two people in front of him, and asked somewhat confusedly, "What… happened to me? What's going on?"
"Suddenly there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and lightning struck you and Karoo. It's good that you're both fine. I have urgent matters to attend to back in Alabasta, so I'll make a long story short."
Vivi said, feigning urgency, "This is a God from the heavens; he has come to help me. He will take me back to my country, quell the civil unrest in Alabasta, and eliminate the mastermind behind all of this—Crocodile."
"Igaram, after you've dealt with things here, return to Alabasta. I'll leave with him first!"
"A God? Are you serious?!"
"Yes, Lady Vivi."
Although Igaram still had many questions in his heart, seeing Vivi's anxious expression, he could only act according to her instructions.
Vivi looked at Karoo shivering, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. Fearing Asmodeus's displeasure, she ultimately gave up on taking it with her.
"Asmodeus, I'm ready."
Asmodeus smiled slightly, very satisfied with her performance. He walked forward and directly pulled Vivi into his arms.
Then, with a flash of lightning, he brought her to Little Maxim. The propellers whirred, and the two disappeared into the horizon.
.....
On the way to Alabasta, Vivi looked worried. She was still thinking about the problem from the perspective of the weak.
"Asmodeus, Crocodile is, after all, a great hero of Alabasta. We still need to find more evidence of his conspiracy against the country before we can expose his crimes and prevent the populace from rising in resistance."
Vivi sat on Asmodeus's lap, awkwardly squirming. She was very unaccustomed to such intimate gestures.
"Why?" Asmodeus scoffed, his hand unconsciously stroking her slender waist.
"What?"
"There's no need for that. In this world, only the strong can decide everything!" Asmodeus's fingertips flickered with lightning, illuminating Vivi's moved face.
"Besides, he's just a fake hero, but you're a true princess!"
"As long as you pin all the crimes on him and then tell your people about his transgressions, with no one to refute it and the oppressive power of this God, they will naturally have no choice but to believe your words."
Vivi was stunned, feeling that her own thinking was indeed a bit naive. As long as the domestic crisis could be resolved, why bother looking for evidence?
At this moment, Asmodeus suddenly asked, "When did you track the Vice President of Baroque Works? Do you know where she went?"
"Just two days ago, we intercepted a message in the sea between Drum Island and Little Garden. Later, fearing she would discover us, we secretly slipped away."
Vivi answered quickly. This incident was so deeply imprinted that she still felt somewhat dazed now.
Drum Island, huh…
Asmodeus took out several Eternal Pointers from his embrace and found the one labeled Drum Island.
Looking at the direction indicated, his expression became firm. He slightly adjusted the direction of Little Maxim and accelerated forward.
Now, the entire Little Maxim was enveloped in a layer of low-brightness lightning curtain, resisting the onslaught of the strong winds.
.....
In a certain sea area not far from Drum Island, a game of cat and mouse was unfolding.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A Navy warship was continuously shelling a small boat in front, but such attacks actually slowed down their pursuit.
"Hina is very happy, Nico Robin. Surrender, you can't escape!"
The speaker was tall, dressed in a rose-red professional suit, wearing the Navy's cloak of justice, with cool light pink long hair parted in the middle and sunglasses on her head, making her appear very sexy and alluring. She was Navy Captain Hina.
The surging waves crashed against the small boat fleeing in front, but they could not change Robin's calm expression.
She calmly commanded the Sea King Turtle, pulling the small boat forward continuously.
Not far ahead was an archipelago. As long as she entered it, the large warship would be unable to follow, and then she would be able to escape.
"God's Judgement!"
At this moment, a huge lightning pillar crashed down, accurately striking the warship and piercing a massive hole through it.
Many pirates in the ship's lower deck prison unfortunately died beneath the lightning pillar.
The warship trembled incessantly, and the seawater churned violently.
The Navy were thrown into disarray, scrambling to grab onto anything nearby, fearing they would fall into the sea.
"Cage-Cage Hook!"
Hina calmly threw out two iron cages, hooking them onto the mast. She looked up, surveying her surroundings, searching for the culprit.
"Hina is very angry, and the consequences will be severe!"
Robin had already turned back to look when she heard the commotion. Seeing them blocked, a surging wave came crashing down, and she quickly turned back, wanting to command the Sea King Turtle to escape while they had the chance.
However, this turn made her jump in fright.
"Miss All Sunday, Nico Robin." Asmodeus appeared on her bow from nowhere, his faint voice full of arrogance.
"Two-Flower: Grab! Ya Um~"
Robin was startled, wanting to strike first, but she suddenly shivered, groaning from the electric shock, her hands trembling, her heart filled with fear.
The man in front of her was actually a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user. This ability, in her mind, was one of the "invincible" abilities among the many Devil Fruit abilities.
Asmodeus's neck felt an itch. Fortunately, Robin didn't have Armament Haki, so she couldn't grow hands on him or grab him.
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
Robin had already been subdued by the electricity and dared not act rashly, only able to silently pray for mercy.
"My name is God · Asmodeus. I have come specifically for you. Nico Robin, become my Goddess Consort!"
Asmodeus understood that to deal with someone like Robin, who had been evading the World Government's pursuit for years, he only needed to be direct.
Simple and straightforward, without beating around the bush, was the only way to achieve high-efficiency conquest.
